aif-loop

Start a loop with /aif-loop new followed by your task description. The skill confirms success criteria and max iterations, then cycles through PLAN, PRODUCE, EVALUATE, CRITIQUE, and REFINE phases until thresholds pass or limits are reached.

Use /aif-loop resume or /aif-loop resume <alias>. All state lives in run.json, history.jsonl, and artifact.md on disk, so the loop reconstructs its exact phase and iteration from files without losing progress.

CRITERIA-TEMPLATES.md ships rule sets for API specifications, code generation, documentation, and configuration files. Each template defines fail/warn severity rules with recommended Phase A and Phase B thresholds that are normalized before iteration one.

Score equals the sum of weights of passed rules divided by the sum of all active rule weights. Fail-severity rules weigh 2, warn rules weigh 1, and a pass requires both meeting the phase threshold and having zero failing fail-severity rules.

The loop stops with reason iteration_limit and status stopped. The final summary includes a distance-to-success block showing the numeric gap to threshold, remaining blocking rule IDs, and rules passed versus total.

The loop stops when Phase B passes, when no fail-severity rules remain failing, on explicit user stop, or when stagnation is detected (score delta under 0.02 for two consecutive iterations without blockers).
